YouTube is either cleaning out their car or making some upgrades…I can’t really tell from the message they have posted. 
The key part to the message that caught my attention is “new features.” I am hoping that one of the new features will be similar to the one that Google recently implemented that allows users to hyperlink directly to a specific spot in a video. We often display movies here from YouTube but there is normally just a specific portion that is worth watching.
Let’s cross our fingers and hope that this isn’t just a generic maintenance message.
From their blog: “Simply put, our primary database crashed.”
